Hi, my name's Gina and I'm a 19-year-old student who's staying in San Francisco for the summer for an internship! It's at an organization called Made In A Free World, and our mission is to help end human trafficking.

I love traveling and meeting new people! I want to get the most out of my time on the West Coast, so I'm excited to explore what this side of the country has to offer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Like I mentioned, I am a college student so I don't have that much money to spend. I love the idea of forming connections with other people through Couchsurfing, all while saving some cash.

Interests

I love exploring bookstores, spending time in nature, drinking coffee, and hanging out with awesome people!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I'll try listening to anything, really. But, I do love Indie/Folk/Rock. Some of my top favorites are Mumford & Sons, the Avett Brothers, Ben Howard, the Head and the Heart, to name a few.

Movies: Inception, Midnight in Paris, Shawshank Redemption, Shutter Island, The Notebook

Books: East of Eden by John Steinbeck, Catcher in the Rye, Beloved by Toni Morrison, A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway, On The Road by Jack Kerouac, and MUCH more.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiking Half Dome in Yosemite was one of the most adventurous things I've ever done!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love learning more about other peoples' travels, their life philosophies, and I think I'm just genuinely interested in hearing about other peoples' experiences and opinions on anything.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would love to discuss book recommendations! (I'm an English major, in case you couldn't tell) :)

Countries I’ve Visited
